Did Clay Aiken come out?

[auntpolly]

My friend called me and insisted he did, but I haven't seen it on this board or anywhere else.

She's usually pretty good with her info, and she's the world's biggest AI fan...what do you guys know?

 

[helenabear]

oops, made a mistake... too early in the day for me to get those things right

other than at the AI performance on stage, nope, hasn't come out and has denied in the past he was.

 

[Lisa loves Pooh]

not that I am aware of other than the "coming out" last night that helenabear referenced.

 

[auntpolly]

Oh, I'm so dumb! I even read that thread, and when I saw "came out", I was thinking "came out on the stage" -- not "came out of the closet"!

So that's cool with everyone? No one's fainting from disappointment.

Everyone knows all the good ones are gay, anyway.

It is reference him coming out onto the stage (as in entering the stage)

was so funny when he came out and the Clay wanna-be was all shocked and amazed.

Not sure how coming out of the closet would be so funny.

But what do I know lately?

OK, so now I'm really confused

Did he "come out", come out, or not?

As far as I know he has denied the gay rumours. So, no he has not come out.

 

[dbogen]

OK, so now I'm really confused

Does he need to "come out" if everyone thinks he should be out?

for that matter How much wood would a woodchuck chuck if a woodchuck could chuck wood?

He entered the stage.

I have no knowledge of his clarifying his sexuality at this time.

now I am confused... I thought you meant the stage????

as for "coming out" the other way, honestly I hadn't heard that one yet...

just rumors, but those were a LONG time ago

No, seriously, my friend told me she saw on the news that he's begun introducing people to his boyfriend. Of course she could be wrong, but I don't think she made up seeing this on the news -- she's just not the type. I just wondered.

This is the most confusing thread I've ever read.

 

[Southern4sure]

Was it just me or did Clay mess up just as he was about to sing. I have replayed it several times and it appears the first few words were croakey. I was so glad to see Clay Aiken and I love the new look.

I'm pretty confused, too. That's what I get for reading it before having my coffee.

I would blame it on him trying his best to maintain composure his composure b/c how it played out when the kid realized clay was behind him was hilarious. I know I couldn't keep from laughing every time the camera was on him. I'm sure in person it was much more difficult.

Me too. I always thought he had 'come out'. I've never watched AI (except in little snippets as I'm channel-surfing, or when William Hung 'She Bangs'-guy was on).

This is what I was thinking, I was just surprised because I have never heard Clay make a singing mistake. I have given up counting the times I have replayed this skit and I laugh and enjoy it every time.

I thought I knew what the OP meant than than I didn't than I did and than I didn't.

Oh well. I give up.

By the way his new looks makes him look so different. At first I wasn't sure who was entering the stage.

 

[The Mystery Machine]

I do not think he ever officially "came out" although I do believe he has a long-standing boyfriend for awhile now, his stylist John Dahlstrom .

 

[auntpolly]

Me too. I always thought he had 'come out'. ).

I don't think so. One of my best friend's son is gay and she's always happy when someone comes out. (She feels like everyone that stops living a lie makes it easier for her son.) She's been waiting for Clay to come out -- maybe it's just wishful thinking on her part over some faulty new report, though.
